Learning about Mining Stocks

Can anyone recommend some resources to learn about the mining industry? I am reasonably confident in understanding the fundamentals of industrial companies but when it comes to mining

Books, websites - anything to take me back to the basics and develop an understanding of these companies

Hi OSS,

Try you local library for:

"How to Invest in Gold Stocks and Avoid the Pitfalls"
by Donald J Hoppe ... ISBN 0-87000 178 -7

Whilst there's probably many other books with more
up-to-date stats on individual companies, this book
has a lot of interesting information about global gold
stocks and global markets.

Of particular interest is the historical information, about
gold's performance in both bull and bear markets.

have a great weekend
